Well it’s been a crazy few weeks in my world. Something seemed to change for me after Super Sunday. I just decided I’m no good at dating and have sworn it off! It’s been a while since I was married and you know I do have to admit I prefer the peace of being alone finally. Dating has been a series of nightmares for me. I’ve met some terrific women and had some great times, but I’ve also experienced some of the most over blown, exceedingly dramatic, and quite frankly bazaar behavior I’ve ever encountered in my life. I tried dating several different girls for fun all at the same time. Well they all couldn’t deal with the other ones being in my life and I ended up with none of them in my life and a new nickname “man whore”! I’ve repeated the “you’re a great friend and I just don’t think of you like that” syndrome over and over, and I’m sick of that dance. I have more “girl friends” than any man should even think about having. And all it brought me was a new level negative thinking when it comes to women. The thing is I’m pretty sure it’s me and something I’m doing wrong, but at this point I don’t care about that. I’ve just decided I’m getting to old to waste my time dating. I mean the last few dates I knew before my wallet was empty that these girls were not for me. Was I trying to hard? Do I just have bad judgment? Am I just a tool? An easy mark?I’m probably all of the above, and the ones who are just flat out angry at me for not seeing them anymore, well they’d tell you I’m a prick and a liar! But hey they just didn’t like having the guy walk.      I sit here reading this and can see I’ve become pretty cynical and bitter over the past few months about the opposite sex, and that makes me sad cause I really do love women. But I think I’ve finally started to see the thing that made the dating world not a good place for me and… “IT’S ME NOT YOU BABY”! At least that’s the line I’m sticking with from now on!       The state of rock and roll around here? Well you could say it’s dead unless you went to the mock rock shows Friday and Saturday. I never thought I’d become a fan of these tribute bands like I have. The Pink Floyd Experience and Hell’s Bell’s were just a ton of fun to see. And on a new music note, Please check out wroq.com for podcasts from the past few weeks of my show Fresh Tracks, we’ve had some tremendous music from very talented up state musicians on the show. And if you don’t open your ears you’re going to miss the next big upsurge in great music in the part of the country. WE HAVE SICK TALENT HERE FOLKS! GET OUT AND SUPPORT THESE HARD WORKING TALENTED ARTISTS!      So just to sum things up, Thank god my Hockey team THE WINGED WHEELS MY BELOVED REDWINGS are the best and will no doubt make a serious run at another Stanley cup. That way I don’t even have to think about dating until at least June! Viva La!!’ Puck!
